It’s out- https://t.co/AeSlMox3H4 we had great fun making this film for @NickelodeonUK - all about me! It airs on Monday but here is a preview. Loads of thanks to all who made it happen @CharEvans1 @Benjam_360 it was great to be back on skis @thesnowcentre @GBSnowsport 🇬🇧⛷😎

Street clutter on pavements makes the journey to school more challenging for visually impaired student Hester and her @GuideDogs Pickle. She wants councils and town planners to listen to mobility teams, so pavements are more accessible for all pedestrians. #100Voices

So glad that the children of #mekelle school are able to study in safety again. Thanks to @yetnebersh_mola for shining a light on this issue. I think so fondly of our visit with you. And I am still campaigning for good change. With ❤️

Would anyone @BBCBristol @BBCNews @itvnews @SkyNews @BBCRadio4 @channel5_tv be interested in covering / making a programme about @guidedogs being denied entry to places - just been refused /chucked out of @jamiesitalian in Oslo airport on way home from ski training camp. Not Ok!

[HesterPoole @HesterViSkier]

@wbsamson - I wanted to say thank you to the kind member of staff @Oslolufthavn - who went out of his way to comfort and help when we - my @guidedogs Pickle and I were refused entry to @JamiesItalian - he was lovely and made a horrible day better. 🙏❤️

[HesterPoole @HesterViSkier]

@jamieoliver - i thought you might want to know - I, with @guidedogs Pickle, was turned away from Jamie’s Italian in @Oslolufthavn today. This is illegal, horrible and alienating - but it still happened. please join me in campaigning for better accessibility rights in restaurants

@TomTugendhat
Dear Tugie (says my redoubtable mama!). We need you - to stop being jolly important security minister and take on a equality minister role asap. We have much stuff to do and could use some helpful welly. All love -general ( Lowden ) Pooles

[HesterPoole @HesterViSkier]

So sad - literally crying - really hungry @OsloAirport and Pickle @guidedogs @gdcampaigns and I have just been turned out of @JamiesItalianDE It is a humiliating and awful way to treat anyone let alone someone who can’t easily navigate to find alternatives alone.
